Yeah It does exist

This is a common mistake made by stupid people that they think transgender is a gender or made up gender label for special snowflakes it is neither, Tran meaning transform or transition is a person that is undergoing surgery by non natural ways of the human body to become either male or female hence the tran ( transition or transform) in the word since they are only 2 genders they choose to either becoming a man or woman hence the phase of transition (transgender) cross from male to female or female to male and injected with hormones and other drugs.

Yes, they exist. Unfortunately.

It is not another gender, as people on here seem to think, but a whacko thought where a woman wants to be a man, or a man wants to be a woman. You don't get to choose if they exist! There are people who think it would be cool to be the other gender. I'm a woman and proud of it, and I don't see why anyone in the right mind (reference to the post titled ' Opinion doesn't matter, transgender people exist') would want to change their gender.

Trangender people are real

I know this because... I'm pretty damn real. I know who I am. My friends know who they are. If I know that I am male in a female body and that makes me not exist then how can you know that you are female in a female body or male in a male body. I mean I could just turn around and decide cisgender people don't exist because I'm not one and that would make every cisgender person roll their eyes and feel uncomfortable because according to someone who clearly doesnt know anything that they don't exist... See where I am going with this? Transgender people exist because there are thousand of stories from people transitioning and identifying as transgender just like cisgender people exist because there are billions of people who identify as cisgender.

Who are you to say that something that is not real?

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it isn't real. Transphobia is a crisis in America that is caused by the republicans and religious people. The Trans community deserves rights just like everybody else. The anti-trans law that was passed in NC is one of the modern Jim Crowe laws. We have to stand up against discrimination of all kinds.

You don't get to chose if they exist. They do.

Brain scans have shown that transgender individuals have brain structures more closely resembling the gender they identify with rather than the gender of their body. How would you feel if your brain was male and your body female?

Not a mental disorder

They have found that the brains of transgender individuals are actually formed as the gender they identify with, rather than that of their body. Imagine if you had the brain of a man and the body of a woman!

Http://www.Scientificamerican.Com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/ "Male and female brains are, on average, slightly different in structure, although there is tremendous individual variability. Several studies have looked for signs that transgender people have brains more similar to their experienced gender."

Well I for one am real.

I'm a female to male transgender and for all those people who said no well you can suck it cause I'm here I'm alive and I sure as hell am not imaginary. I urge you to tell me to my face that I'm not real and then we'll see who really is the fake one.

There is no "born in the wrong body," because that would imply that there is a "right body," there is not, there is only the body you are in, and if you think that you belong i another, you should go get your head examined because how would you know what body G-d originally wanted to put you in? It is an unfalsifiable claim, and has no relation to reality.

People saying tansgender are affected by mental disorders, or stress/fetish induced opinions on life which cause people to think they are trapped in the opposite genders body. The genetic process which selects your gender doesn't mix up who you are and how you look, if you're female you're female if you're male you're male and that's it.

It is a disorder

If I had a dollar for every gender that exists in the world, I would end up with 2 dollars. There is absolutely no scientific proof that any gender other than the 2 fundamental gender units exists in the human society. Transgender is nurture rather than nature, and people are certainly not born with these diseases. It is the experiences they go through in life, perhaps the envy towards the privilege accorded to the opposite gender, which makes transgender what they are, and the apt term to describe these group of people would be "mentally-challenged".

It is only real as a real mental defect.

If "transgender' is meant to identify someone who is using surgery to mask or hide from reality then it is real. But that is only as real as claiming the term 'gay' is appropriate for the illness of homosexuality. As if you are happy if you have a mental defect, and unhappy if you do not. There is no amount of lying to themselves through surgery that can change the fact of what these so called 'transgendered people' really are.

No. It is impossible to be born in the wrong body

No, because the claim of the transgender are that they are born in the wrong body. There is no such thing. Your body is your body, you are born with it. Nobody puts you in the wrong body. Transgender are simply people who WISH they were born a different sex. It is no different than someone wishing they were born taller, skinnier, smarter etc. The only difference is that transgender wants to deny the truth and they are trying to force other people to enable their delusion by trying to "fight for their rights". No, you are not the opposite sex of what you are born as. And no, you cannot use the bathroom of your choice. No, we will not address you as she (transgender woman) or he (transgender man). You are are he (transgender man) and she (transgender man).

Scientifically, no they are not

I was stuck between saying yes and no, because yes transgenders do exist. They are human beings. Although their belief of being born in the wrong body is a different topic.

I have two words for you. Gender Dysphoria, the condition of feeling one's emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one's biological sex. And yes, it is a mental disorder.

Here are some articles explaining Gender Dysphoria since I am too lazy with going into detail myself.

Changing your sex is biological impossible. Key word "biological".

There all fags

I think who ever think that changing gender is fucking stupid dont get me wrong i like beinga guy but why would youu want to be a check like seriously its just nasty now and days what people want to do with them selfs its so so so stupid damnn

Scientists have identified that there is are differences between the male and female brain.

Basically what science says is that there are chemical and structural differences in male and female brains. This basically means that one cannot be born with a female brain when their chromosomes and XY. The chromosomes determine what kind of brain and body that the being will posses. So while the instance of people attempting to switch their genders exists, there is no scientific evidence that either:A) Genders can actually be switched. Chromosomes cannot be altered.OrB) There is a reason to switch genders. A male brain accompanies a male body and a female brain accompanies a female body. A person who truly feels they were born in the wrong gender is confused, and should seek professional help to treat these feelings.

Transgenders Are Not Real

There are several important reasons why transgenders are not real. A major reason transgenders are not real is that is you are really a different gender then why were you not born that gender? A man is born a man, a woman a woman. If it is natural then why does it take so much effort to change genders completely. In addition, why do transgender people not marry straight people? If a man decides to be a woman, why would he not date a man like a woman would? It makes zero sense. They say they were born this way but they need surgery to make the change. Transgenders are not real.
